#2 Go Crazy At All Saints Lunatic Asylum

The All Saints Lunatic Asylum in Apple Valley is opening its haunted halls for one night only from 7pm to 10pm to celebrate Friday the 13th. This is their last haunt before Halloween, so don’t miss it!

“All Saints Lunatic Asylum’s institutional operations have been suspended until further notice.
Nearly 50 years ago, All Saints Lunatic Asylum lost funding and was forced to close its doors. Patients unable to leave, Doctors with nowhere to go, the once cutting edge mental health facility fell into obscurity. Enter if you dare!!!”

Tickets ($10) at the box office and more information on their WEBSITE
Additional spooks! They also have a themed escape room on site – Escape The Asylum!

#3 Get Lost In The Cemetery With The Lost Boys

Bring a picnic dinner and step foot into a REAL cemetery for this nighttime showing of The Lost Boys!

“Sleep all day. Party all night. It’s fun being a vampire!
Grab your holy water (garlic just won’t do) for this horror comedy classic that’s made to be seen under the night sky! When suburban punks turn out to be beach town vampires, two brothers (Corey Haim and Jason Patric) find themselves entangled with the deadbreath biker gang led by a rebellious Kiefer Sutherland. One brother gets bitten by the love bug and drawn into the vampiric group, and the other must defeat the undead with one splattering plot twist after another.”

**UPDATE – this event is SOLD OUT but check out the other movies Cinespia will be featuring!** Tickets ($12-$20) available HERE

#4 Attend A Science Fiction Double Feature At The Egyptian

Grab your popcorn and get comfy for this Jeffrey Combs double feature. He’ll be there in person!

“Friday Night Frights presents a COMBS double feature – Both in 35mm! Combs is one of the great unsung character actors working today. But we’re gonna sing his song on July 26 with two of his greatest performances! First in Peter Jackson’s criminally underseen 1996 spookfest, THE FRIGHTENERS, in which Combs plays the obsessive and deeply weird antagonist FBI Agent Dammers. Then we follow that up with the role that launched Combs career (and put him on Jackson’s radar), the lovably amoral med student Herbert West in Stuart Gordon’s seminal 1985 horror classic, RE-ANIMATOR.”

#5 Follow The Black Cat To Midsummer Scream
